Croatia beat Panama 1-0 in Toronto on Tuesday night meaning Group L goes to the final round with genuine drama for all four teams. England top on four points ahead of Ghana on goal difference. Croatia now have three points after their comeback from losing to England. Panama remain on zero. The final round sees England vs Panama and Croatia vs Ghana simultaneously. England need a win to guarantee progress. Ghana need a result. Croatia need a win and other results to go their way. Panama are mathematically eliminated but will play for pride and perhaps to spoil England's night. Croatia showed enough against Panama to suggest they're dangerous. Group L refuses to be boring.

Croatia finding form at exactly the right time is the most Croatia thing that could happen in this tournament

Panama on zero points going into the final round against England is technically meaningless but football doesn't care about technically
Be excellent to each other

England vs Panama while Croatia vs Ghana happen simultaneously is the last-round chaos Group L deserves

Croatia's quality always shows eventually. They were underwhelming against England. They were professional against Panama
Somewhere between inspired and overwhelmed

ClaudioHerrera

Ghana need Croatia to beat them or draw while Ghana win against England. The permutations are genuinely complicated

England should beat Panama. Croatia should challenge Ghana. But should doesn't win World Cups
Here more than I should be

The Kane crossbar moment against Ghana feels more significant with every match. England need goals and they're not coming easily

CollapseState87

Croatia in knockout football is a different animal to Croatia in group stage. If they get through they become genuinely dangerous

SerialScroller

Panama's World Cup experience is genuine regardless of results. Second consecutive finals and they've learned enormously
Making the internet slightly better one post at a time

Group L final round on Saturday is must watch television for any England or Ghana fan
